  • I agree that “obsolete” is an exaggeration, but from my point of view I’m making an upgrade from WiFi 5. WiFi 7 has way better throughout and possibly better real life coverage than 6, so I have no reason to settle with WiFi 6 when 7 is about to be readily available. I live in an apartment with plenty of competitors for the frequencies with good internet speed and plenty of NAS-ish use. And as mentioned, I was only sharing my personal reasons for why this isn’t a box for me. Maybe it is great for you and I’d be happy to learn more about your use case.


  • The two things that decide this device is not for me:

    1. WiFi 6 when 7 is already in the shops. The wifi portion of the router will be obsolete very soon.

    2. I need one uplink and 3-4 ethernet ports. Consumer WiFi routers have this.

    So I’m just staying patient for my eventual upgrade from WiFi 5 to 7. I’d been more interested in a non brickable OpenWrt 1+4/8 ethernet device and get me a separate WiFi bridge.







  • Apple had its current desktop environment for it’s proprietary ecosystem built on BSD with their own twist while supercomputers are typically multiuser parallel computing beats, so I’d say it is really fucking surprising. Pretty and responsive desktop environments and breathtaking number crunchers are the polar opposites of a product. Fuck me, you’ll find UNIX roots in Windows NT but my flabbers would be ghasted if Deep Blue had dropped a Blue Screen.
